Alpinestars Tech-Air® 5 Plasma Airbag - Black I had an unfortunate incident when I stalled my motorcycle and fell to the ground, no time to put my foot down however, the Plasma air vest had deployed before I had hit the tarmac making my fall bizarrely comfortable! No injuries bruising whatsoever, an amazing piece of kit. I went to replace the cartridge but had a query regarding the bladder s integrity, I spoke to after sales at Sportsbikeshop who uplifted it and had it inspected by the authorised Alpinestars technicians, it was tested and no fault found, no cost to me, I spoke directly with the technician who put my mind at rest. The whole procedure was quick and seamless. Well done SBS
Alpinestars Tech 3 Enduro Waterproof Boots - Black / White Great boots, more comfortable than I expected.
I was looking for an upgrade, from my Forma Adventure boots.
I wanted, more protection off road, without compromising the road/walking
comfort. I found 'most' enduro/MX boots, too stiff
for walking in. I do a lot more road riding and walking, than off road riding.
These boots, although quite stiff, and will take a while to bed in, are really good for road use.
I do miss the odd gear change, and can't quite feel the rear brake as much,
but I'm sure I'll get used to that.
All day comfy, I recently rode, approx 200 miles, with some trails in between.
Very supportive off road (stood up on pegs), comfy on road and walking about.
Although, they do 'squeek' a lot!
Haven't tested the waterproofing yet.
Sizing. is very good too, I wear a UK 10, (US 11) so ordered EU 45.5, fit just right, but a little snug
around the foot (not tight or uncomfortable). So try before you buy!
Overall, a very good 'Adventure' boot, in my opinion.
I can't comment on full on Enduro/MX riding, as I don't do that.
All day comfy, supportive, good fit, very good protection, easy to use.
Alpinestars Supertech R10 - Arius Gloss Black / Silver / Fluo Yellow Having been an Arai diehard for years, my last RX7 just didn t live up to expectations. I persevered for the 5/6 years but knew I needed a change this time. I had seen pictures of the Alpinestar R10 and thought it was beautiful but my god the second I tried it on I was sold. I ve always been a medium but the shop assistant recommended a large. The moment I tried it on, it was snug but not uncomfortable, full hamster cheeks in operation. However the lining is plush, comfortable and well suited to my head shape. What s was really staggering was my first ride out with it. As the owner of a Streetfighter V4S there is zero protection from the wind and yet the helmet is one of the most aerodynamically neutral helmets I ve ever ridden with practically zero buffeting and hardly any wind noise!! It made riding an absolute pleasure. Personally I ll keep buying these for as long as they make them. Try it, buy it you won t be disappointed. Also exceptional service from all at Sportsbikeshop!! Having been a Manager previously for Hein Gericke, I know what it takes and these guys are a class act!!
Alpinestars J-6 Waterproof Shoe - Brown I got these while still training for my mod 1.
They have been great, the boot is warm and comfortable. It feels solid, and gives my ankle support and protection. There is plenty of grip on the soles, and doesn’t look out of place when I’m out and about .
Some people complained about a mark appearing where the gear lever rubs on the boot, but I haven’t had this issue yet.
